Broken And Blessed
$14.99Add to cartOnly 2 in 10 Americans under 30 believe attending a church is important or worthwhile. Well over half of young adults raised in the Church have dropped out with many having a strong anti-Church stance, many even believing the Church does more harm than good.Fr.

Cardinal Zens Advent Reflections
$14.95Add to cartThe brave and steadfast Joseph Cardinal Zen of Hong Kong has prepared these stirring, spiritually enriching meditations to lift the souls of Catholics worldwide to God this Advent season. From his place in retirement, this Prince of the Church reaches out to the wider world to wait with him for the coming of the Messiah to redeem and to save the human race and restore mankind to a right relationship with God.
These reflections are collected from Cardinal Zen’s homilies and pastoral letters during his episcopacy in Hong Kong, a time of social and political tension. For this reason, we think that these reflections bring hope to Christians to enjoy peace and serenity.
From the Latin adventus, meaning “arrival” or “approach,” Advent is the time in which we long for the Second Coming of Christ, as the world did for thousands of years before His birth. Cardinal Zen begs the Holy Spirit to draw us into an ever-deepening Him as we await Christ’s physical return to earth – as He promised – to break the chains oppressing mankind and restore all things to Himself. In these precious pages, you will find:
*How to let the Baby Jesus give you courage and live “out of bounds” with your hope
*Three questions to ask yourself when preaching the gospel
*Your duty as a Christian to proclaim the truth from your heart
*Two things you should focus on during Advent (Do you know them?)
*Ten basic attitudes you should cultivate for your salvation (Be alert!)
*The way to experience the “excessive” love, healing, mercy, and peace of GodHis Eminence will help you appreciate the Advent and Christmas seasons as never before as you journey through the beauty of the liturgical themes with penetrating meditations. You will encounter the Holy Family and learn from their example, and you will delight in Epiphany, the “outburst” of our salvation. You will also see how the magi remind us of the reverence and worship we owe to our Eucharistic Lord and will discover the way to childlike trust and total surrender with our Blessed Mother.
Cardinal Zen’s inspired reflections will fill you with hopeful longing, joyful expectation, prayerful penance, and spiritual preparation as you look to the salvation history of the past, your present redemption being accomplished now, and the future coming of Our Lord and Savior.

Caring For A Loved One With Mary
$12.95Add to cartCompletely occupied by the constant care necessary for her medically complex son, Theresa Kiser struggled to relate to the seemingly carefree Catholics around her. But when she stumbled upon the devotion to the Seven Sorrows of Mary, she was surprised – and deeply relieved – to discover that Our Lady walked this caregiving road before her. The Seven Sorrows devotion nourished her soul with comfort, companionship, and grace at a time when she needed it most.
In Caring for a Loved One with Mary, you’ll walk step-by-step through the Seven Sorrows of Mary, an ancient yet lesser-known Marian devotion. Theresa’s story and the stories of other Catholic caregivers demonstrate that times of suffering and limitation do not indicate a departure from God’s plan. Rather, they are how he brings us to his joy, as he did for Our Lady.
Mary shows us when life doesn’t go as planned that we are not alone. Moreover, our sorrows when caring for a loved one may be the very means by which we are to follow Christ, just as they were for our Blessed Mother. We know that Mary’s sorrows were not final. For her, everything turned to joy. In God’s timing and in God’s way, our sorrows will, too.

Carlos Simple Wisdom
$21.95Add to cartThe soon-to-be canonized Carlo Acutis has become one of the most well-known figures of holiness in modern times. Since his death in 2006 at the age of 15, people across the world have been captivated by Carlo’s life and personality and sought his intercession. His youthful zeal and devotion to the Eucharist are well documented, and many people in his life attest to his personal holiness and fearlessness in talking about his faith and love for Jesus.
For the first time, Carlo’s simple and insightful words have been collected into one book. Carlo’s Simple Wisdom demonstrates that it is possible even today to live in harmony with the will of God. Carlo’s life was a race, fast and brief. He has reached the goal he longed for, and he wants nothing more for us than to join him in heaven.
Carlo said, “Everyone is born as an original, but many people end up dying as photocopies.” Unique, unrepeatable, and loved in a singular way by God, each of us is one of a kind. We risk becoming photocopies when we depart from the path Jesus has laid out for us. The truth that Carlo recalled, “God is always with us,” is of utmost importance. We must become “intimate friends of Christ.” Carlo has given us many words of hope to hold onto as we aspire to pursue holiness as he did.

Case For Jesus
$26.00Add to cartFor well over a hundred years now, many scholars have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels, claiming that they were originally anonymous. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth did not think he was God and never claimed to be divine.
In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, goes back to the sources-the biblical and historical evidence for Christ-in order to answer several key questions, including:
* Were the four Gospels really anonymous?
* Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies?
* Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable?
* What about the so-called “Lost Gospels,” such as “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas?
* Did Jesus claim to be God?
* Is Jesus divine in all four Gospels? Or only in John?
* Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah?
* Why was Jesus crucified?
* What is the evidence for the Resurrection?As The Case for Jesus will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship, as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers, together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the traditional Gospels. Above all, Pitre shows how the divine claims of Jesus of Nazareth can only be understood by putting them in their ancient Jewish context.
